“Our c.i.a. at work?
1st they invent aids and spread it amongst black folk.
Now passing the plaque around our enemies.”
Not even remotely funny. If our enemies can convince others that your rumor is true, it will justify a “retaliatory strike” that would be unpleasant.
If it were a lab accident and they were planning an attack anyway, a leak from the lab could be spun as a CIA attack, justifying a bio attack.
DBrow,
Both statements are supposed to be absolutely stupid.
BUT, I guarantee ya some crazies will believe things like this to be true.
I’m sure you’ve heard fools say the cia was responsible for aids?
Yes, I’ve heard the CIA-AIDS, plus the CIA-crack and other similar things.
I wasn’t singling you out, just worrying that someone will use the concept to hurt us.
Fire can’t melt steel, you know!
Enemies within and without already turn any and everything to try to make us look like the boogie man.Bagdad Bob types.
Yes, sometimes with help.
Or bats.
and keep pets like terriers and cats
Dogs are unclean </Ricter scale irony>
I guess I’m really saying that if they were more like us, this wouldn’t be a problem, would it?
Nor would they.
We will find
sooner or later
if Achmed'll pray
to a glowing crater
Not true! There are things they developed all by themselves, like, uh, like, um, like...
*nevermind*
Not yet. We may never even if it's true.
“I agree with you about the nukes. They are far more reliable than hoping for an effective spread of the plague.”
I would imagine plague would make a good secondary attack after a larger attack to some extent disabled a society’s response structure.
Nice haiku! :)
If they had it, they would have used it on us, all they can do is talk becasue they don’t have it.
Just a quatrain.
A Haiku follows this format:
The first line has five
second, seven syllables
then return to five
(yes, that’s a meta-haiku)...
Um. No.
First, there is a difference between developing it deliberately, and catching it accidentally.
Second, even if they’d developed it deliberately they’d want to test it before they committed to using it.
Third, for all we know, a bunch of infected tallywackers could be mingling with the inauguration crowds right now...
Ah, well, uh...
*ponders*
*snaps fingers*
To see a quatrain you really need to go to a switchyard...
oh ok! thanks! ;)
Rush talking about this now.
So does bacillus anthracis, but when you have 5000 people showing up with it, it's hard to treat.
Plague, especially pneumonic plague, has been on the “possible biowar agent” list for a while now. Not as high as anthrax, but still considered a serious threat. Among other charming properties, it can spread person-to-person while anthrax does not, except for spores that cling to your clothes.
We should celebrate because we know this will attack only Muslims, not Christians and Jews. /s
